INTRODUCTION This study aimed to perform a rigorous sample standardization and also evaluate the preparation of mesiobuccal (MB) root canals of maxillary molars with severe curvatures using two single-file engine-driven systems (WaveOne with reciprocating motion and OneShape with rotary movement), using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten MB roots with single canal...

AIMS The aim of this study is to evaluate increases in temperature on the external root surface during endodontic treatment with different rotary systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty human mandibular incisors with a single root canal were selected. All root canals were instrumented using a size 20 Hedstrom file, and the canals were irrigated with 5% sodium hypochlorite solution. The samples w...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the dentine removing efficacy of gates-glidden drills with hand files, protaper and oneshape single-instrument system using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: a total of 39 extracted bifurcated maxillary first premolars were divided into 3 groups ( n =13) and were prepared using either gates-glidden drills and hand ins...

objectives: during root canal preparation, apical extrusion of debris can cause inflammation, flare-ups, and delayed healing. therefore, instrumentation techniques that cause the least extrusion of debris are desirable. this study aimed to compare apical extrusion of debris by five single-file, full-sequence rotary and reciprocating systems. materials and methods: one hundred twenty human mandi...

introduction: root canal preparation techniques may cause postoperative pain. the aim of the present study was to compare the intensity of postoperative pain after endodontic treatment using hand files, single file rotary (oneshape), and single file reciprocating (reciproc) systems. methods and materials: in this single-blind, parallel-grouped randomized clinical trial a total of 150 healthy pa...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the torsion and bending properties of OneShape (OS; Micro Mega, Besançon, France) and WaveOne (WO; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) single-file systems. METHODS The torsional strength of OS size #25, 0.06 taper and WO primary size #25, 0.08 taper was measured by using a torsiometer after fixing the apical 5 mm of the instrument...

This study compared the cyclic fatigue resistance of OneShape (OS) instrument which used continuous rotation with WaveOne (WO) instrument which used reciprocating motion. OS size 25, 0.06 taper and WO primary size 25, 0.08 taper were used in simulated canals with 45°, 60°, and 90° angles of curvature until fracture. The number of cycles to fracture (NCF) was recorded to evaluate cyclic fatigue ...
